Answer:

Closing/ New Level of Retained Earnings = $170,000

Explanation:

As for the provided information,

Retained earnings opening balance = $140,000

Net Profits after taxes = $65,000

This balance of net profit which is after taxes includes the dividend earned, which shall be the part of income, as the dividend earned is part of our income in case not reduced from carrying value of investment, as in case of investment in any company's stock for less than 20% share.

Also the preference dividend paid tends to reduce the net income to be added to retained earnings.

Therefore, closing balance of retained earnings:

= $140,000 + $65,000 - $35,000 = $170,000

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

$40.875

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling Expenses = $ 9,600

Merchandise Inventory on December 31 = 33,000

Merchandise Inventory on January 1 = 47,000

Purchases of merchandise = 83,500

Rent for store = 12,100

Sales commissions = 7,300

Sales revenue = 168,500

Cost of goods sold:

= Beginning merchandise inventory + Merchandise purchase - Ending merchandise inventory

= $47,000 + $83,500 + $33,000

= $163,500

If Crabapples sold 4,000 boxes of dry fruit during the​ year, then the cost per box of dry fruits is:

= Cost of goods sold ÷ Number of boxes sold

= $163,500 ÷ 4,000

= $40.875

Answer:

alitalia should do the forward hedge to hedge its transaction exposure

Explanation:

Alitalia can construct the money market hedge as follows

1. borrow Euro whose present value is equal to the amount to be paid.

2. convert it to foreign currency at the current spot rate.

3. place it in a deposit

4. make the payment when the deposit reaches maturity

PV of payment = 10000000/1.05

                         = 9523809.525

converting in to Euro at the spot rate we get 6802721.09 Euros

so Alitalia has to borrow the above amount and convert it and invest it at 5%.

now the payable amount from the loan is  6802721.09(1+0.03) = 7006802.72 Euros

Hence Alitalia has effective managed to locl in a forward rate of 1.427$/euros (10000000/7006802.72)$/euros

Therefore, alitalia should do the forward hedge to hedge its transaction exposure

Answer:

Return on investment =  -0.71%

Explanation:

<em>The return on investment is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.  </em>

<em>Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.  </em>

<em>Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal</em>.  

Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:  

Total  Return on investment =  

(Capital gain/ loss + dividend )/purchase price × 100  

Capital loss = (184 -140) × 120 = - 480

Dividend = 427

Commission = 34 + 39 =-73

Net loss on investment = - 480 - 73 + 427= -126

Return on investment = -126 /(148× 120) = -0.71%

Return on investment =  -0.71%
